• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I was gonna start with some football, but I made
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: an editorial decision based on listener feedback. Play the hit,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: small Man, play the hits. One of our bosses used
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to stay back in the day, So our lead this
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: hour is from the big A in Anaheim, the greatest
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: team in baseball history, the twenty twenty five Dodgers, so
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: good that no way they can f this up, No
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: way they can f this up. Well, the sweep complete
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the lowly Halos, a pathetic, wretched franchise with the longest
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: playoff drought active in Major League Baseball. They are the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: bad News Bears and Anaheim, and they sent the gutless
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Dodgers into base ball Hell. And if you didn't see
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the game, probably didn't. Maybe you missed it. Despite Shohei
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: o'tani starting for the Blue Crew, couldn't bet on that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: catcher Logan o'hoppy coming up big late in the game.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: He had a two run ribby single in the eighth inning,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and the Angels swept the season Freeway series with a
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: six to five win over the once proud Dodger franchise.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: The sub five hundred Angels somehow, some way, swept both
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: series against the supposedly immortal Dodgers this season. They have
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: now won going back to last year's seven straight. That's
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a franchise record against the team. They wish they were
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: maybe the Angels plan Anaheim, which is an Orange county
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: about thirty five miles or so from LA And they
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: call themselves the La Angels because they want to be
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers anyway. Yeah, but it's not about that. Did
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you hear the latest pearls of wisdom from Dave Roberts?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts, If you did not see this or hear
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: about it, maybe not. I watched the news conference postgame
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: news conference from the Big A. There Dave Roberts trying
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to spin in spin bad baseball, bad baseball played by
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: his team yet again. Roberts said he liked the way
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers played as they got swept. I'm not making
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: this up. I'm not, I promise you hand to God,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not making this up, Roberts said across the board,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: we did a good job competing, he said. In another quote,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Robert said, in a vacuum we played well. Close quote.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: All right, so let us discuss the question what do
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you take away from Dave Roberts. As the Dodgers have
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: now fallen out of first place, the San Diego Padres
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: are in first place now in the Nation League West,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and the Dodgers get swept by the Angels, and Dave
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Roberts says, he says, across the board, we did a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: good job competing. In in a vacuum, we played well. So
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: what do you take away from Dave Roberts saying that
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: he liked the way the Dodgers played while losing and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: getting swept. So observations here, I've got Karen Bass, Dice
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and Okie and we will combine all of these things
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: together and we will cross the pearly gates is where
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: we're going to go. So number now, it is appropriate
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: that Dave Roberts mentioned a vacuum. You see, Dave Roberts,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you are the vacuum. You suck the energy out of
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the room. Yet that there's no urgency, there's none, And
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Dave is the maestro of being tone deaf he is
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: from back in the day. I really liked him in
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that spot. The Dodgers are in the middle of a skid.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: They look like they're going through the motions, and they've
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: looked that way for a couple of months now, and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the manager, plausibly, the one who's the loss of the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: team on the field, is essentially saying, hey, don't worry
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: about the results, guys, just trust us, bro That's what
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts is saying. It's like they're allergic to accountability
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: over there. The players make so much money you can't
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: criticize them. The Dodgers since July first have played thirty
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: six games. They're fifteen and twenty one. They're playing four
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: seventeen baseball. That's the Dodgers. It's pete Dodger arrogance, and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: it drives me batty. I'm serious. I family the only
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: one that cares. I know, like the local LA talks
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: to those guys. You know, we're Nationals, so it's a
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: little different. But the local guys it seems like they
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: just don't care. It's like, and this is the LA
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: sports version of don't worry, baby, We'll be fine. We
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: will be fine. While the house. You know what's happening.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts sounds like the mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: while she was on a trip to Africa, essentially saying, Uh, listen,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the water supply, the city waterspy, No big deal, folks. Meanwhile,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the pipes are bone dry, the palisades are burning up. Uh,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and the mayor in LA had nothing to worry about here.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: It's complacency at its finest, Like I don't want you
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: to try too hard. Don't try too hard, just do
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the bare minimum. That's the Dodger way, that's the dot.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: The sword is rolling over his grave right now, do
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the bare minimum. Make sure you collect that paycheck though,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And that line in a vacuum that is chef's kiss,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: chef's kids. That's just like managers speak for, ignore the scoreboard,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: ignore the standings. Yeah, we're looking up at the Tuckers
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: to the Podreys, right. It doesn't matter. Yeah, see, Dave,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: For some people, I know, not a lot, but for
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: some people like it actually does matter, like they and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the standings do matter. And your guys look flat. They
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: have been outplayed by clearly inferior team and instead of
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: trying to light a fire under them. It appears you're
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: handing out juice boxes, is what you're doing. Now. There
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: was a guy, and I don't know if Lorena can
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: find the sound by, but there was a manager of
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the Maryners named John McLaren, and he went on a
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: rant when the seattle he was like a temporary manager
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: of the marriage. But he went on a rant. You know,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: sick and tired of losing. I'm sick of I want
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: a manager to be that manager I want. I would
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: love to have Dave Roberts come out and just explode
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: like John McLaren and say I'm sick and tired of losing.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: These guys are sick and tired of losing and just
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: going on and on. That's what I want. I don't
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: want in a vacuum. We played well. I don't need that.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I don't want that. Don't say that. Never say that
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: you suck. Your team blows right now? You know, well
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I thought we compete it. Yeah, I mean, come on,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: it's ridiculous, all right, this is what this is. A
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: guy named John McLaren. You have no idea who that is.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I want Roberts to sound like this stay a list.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: We're playing ours off every day and got nothing to
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: show for it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: I'm tired of losing.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to get my ax beating.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And so those guys, we're gonna change this around and
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: get after it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: And only we can do it.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: The fans are pissed off, and I'm pissed off, and
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: the players are pissed off. And that's the way it is.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: There's no easy way out of this. Can't feel sorry
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: for ourselves. Gotta buckle it up and get after it.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Tired of damn losing is every night and we bust her.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: It's gotta be a toe team.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: Never turn this thing around.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: And that's it.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I want. I want that I don't want. Hey,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: we did a good job competing in a vacuum. We
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: played well, that's Dave Robert. I want the other I
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: want the other guy. That's what I want. It's like
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: they think that Dodgers think the playoffs are an automatic birthright,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and they keep adding wild card teams and all that stuff.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: So it's like they just have this mindset. Well, we'll
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: flip the switch when we need to. Now, the other
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: issue I have, since we're aaron grievous, this here is
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the Dodger fan. I watched some of that Angel Dodger game.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: It was eighty five ninety Dodger fans. There are no
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Angel fans, right, it was like Dodger Stadium in Anheim,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and they're so used. The Dodger fans so used this
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: generation of dominance in the regular season, and you know,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: it's just meaningless platitudes and it's like, well, get to
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the playoffs and all that stuff. It's like, it just
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: drives me nuts. It does. I think I've made that clear.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: It drives me freaking nuts. Art moving on from that,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: other things that I observed while I was perusing the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Sporting World trying to get ready for this talk show,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I was watching some of the Yankee Twins game from
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the Bronx. That's where we're going to go. The reason
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I watched this game maybe I had a financial investment in,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: maybe I didn't. But the other thing I was watching
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: was it was a rain delay game, so it was
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: like a two hour rain delay, so the game started
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: a little later than normal, and for some reason I
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: had this game on. Somebody stood out, So what was
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: your reaction to Twins starter Joe Ryan screaming if you
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: saw this or not screaming the F word after multiple
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: pitches in his start against the Yankees. Joe Ryan's the
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: guy that was supposedly traded to the Red Sox, although
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: it didn't actually happen. And he's like one of two guys.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: It's Joe Ryan and Byron Buxton and a bunch of
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Bush League players on the Minnesota Twins. Anyway, Joe Ryan
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: is out there, so my reaction. So, Joe Ryan's out
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: there dropping F bombs like it's a Scorsese movie. And uh,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: and it seemed like every other pitch in the middle
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and that's I think it was the fifth of the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: sixth inning. You clearly I was on the Amazon feed.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: You clearly heard f I can't say clear as day.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: The Amazon broadcast Mike's picked it up and every syllable
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: was hilarious. I was texting my buddies, take turn on
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the Yankee game. This is great. Joe Ryan is out there.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: He's like that old comedian and Andrew dice Clay from
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: back in the day on the my ound. He works
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: blue the diceman with the fastball. And then you got
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Michael Kay in the booth trying to gaslight the audience.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Kind of pretending like, yeah, you're not really hearing what
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: you think you're hearing. Good. He even he kind of
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: gave up on that after a while, like, well, Joe,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Ryan's out there saying shucks. No, he's not saying shocks.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I don't hate this, by the way, I don't hate this.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: The guy's intense. He's got a weird thing, borderlines spectrum.
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: Me.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: There's not that many guys like that left in baseball,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and I enjoyed it. You know, he missed a pitch
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: by an inch and boom, you know f word, you know,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: kick kick a trash can. Doesn't appear to be a
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: heck of a heck of a pitcher, but he's he's
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: also got this we he's like a tennis player. Tennis
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: players like the grunt and curse and all that stuff.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: And we just talked about the Dodgers who look lifeless
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: and the Twins are a pathetic team. But it's refreshing
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: when you see a player that has that competitive spirit
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: and doesn't look like a lifeless zombie. You enjoy that
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the raw emotion that they get. So I thought that
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: was pretty cool. Now, our final point, we're going to
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: stay with the Twins. Several of you who listen to
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: us in the Twin Cities in the great state of Minnesota,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: you got to talk about this here. You should talk
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: about this. It's a big story. Uh So, after announcing
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: that they were going to sell the baseball team, the
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: pole Aad Family, the group that owns the baseball team
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: called the Twins, they did an about face this week
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: and they said in a prepared statement that they quote
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: explored a wide range of potential investment and ownership possibilities.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: But you know what that means. They will remain the
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: controlling owners moving forward of the Minnesota Twins. So how
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: should Twins fans handle the pole Aad family deciding not
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: to sell the Twins at after all? All right, so
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota baseball team just pulled a fast one worthy
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: of like Ocean's eleven, except instead of robbing a casino,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: they robbed the fan of hope. Because there was hope.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: There was like, okay, this is all gonna be okay.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: The pole Led family, they had the Twins fans thinking
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: they were about to hit the power ball. They started
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: clearing the books. They sold off all the entire bullpen
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: of the Twins. Trader of way half the big league roster.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: It was like a clear and sale a big lots.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: They were getting rid of everything, and you're thinking, Okay,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: finally these tight wads in Minnesota are cashing out. They've
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: got a lot of debt, they're getting rid of contracts,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna move on, sell the team that you
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: put up with it. You put up with it because
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: you thought this would lead to the sale of the
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: team and a new owner who might even think, hey,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: we can build the world serious team. It's not just
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: a rumor, but no psych the old okie do they
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: did the Oki doky one second. It's like the Gene
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Wilder scene from Willie Walker. Right, they're walking with a
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: limp and then the cane and then the cobblestone and
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: then you know, next thing you know, they fall. They're
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: about to fall, hop back up and strut in right
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: to the bank with your ticket deposit and just kidding you, peasants,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: you even peasants, we're keeping the team. You'll take your
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: seventy eight win season and you're gonna like it. Of course,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the team has been treading water. The twins in the
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: kiddie pool for got at least a decade, probably longer
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: than that. And every time you think they're going to
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: open the deep end of the pool, they toss in
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: another pool noodle and a little floating flamingo and they say, well,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: it's competitive balance. And as I have said in previous
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: episodes of the show, it is going to take fan
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: apathy to change things. Until then, enjoy the baseball version
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: of Groundhog Day, where every year it's the same, they'll well,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: we're gonnay, this will be the year we spend some
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: money to underspend and then blame the blame the weather,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the blame something else, or the blame the Dodgers, the
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Yankees one of the teams that actually tries to spend money.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: And of course, now the good news is the Twin
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: fan can trade notes with the Angel fan because Artie Marino,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: who has done nothing but put incompetent teams on the
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: field in Anaheim, Artie Marino attempted to do the same thing.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna sell the team, you umb a couple of
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: years ago, as I got and all the Angel fans
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: all they got all horny, they got all excited. All right,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get real owner. Somebody wants to compete be
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: a big, big market owner. And then Artie Marino he said, psych,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I'm doing the Oki donkey, and now the twins have
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: done the Oki dog. Everyone do the oke okie dogy
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: because I'm more of the hokey pokey. That's more my
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: that's more my jam.

  Speaker 6: the show. I'm here to ask you please don't listen

  Speaker 6: to the show. The hosts are two absolute morons who

• 18:56
  Speaker 1: The Gift that keeps on giving Baby ever day he
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: cooks up a Smorgasborg. He does. And if you haven't
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the latest on this man, wonderful, good stuff, good stuff
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: yet again, So the Cowboy owner Jerry Jones has yet
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: again poked the fan. He's annoyed the fan. A percentage
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: of the fan base appears to be annoyed. Here. Now,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: what did Jerry do? Now? He admitted the team is
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: a quote soap opera three hundred and sixty five days
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: a year by design. Jerry, commenting during a recent red
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: carpet interview. Might remember we mentioned in a previous episode
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: of the show there is a Netflix documentary on the
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Cowboys which is dropping in a few days. The Cowboys
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: is a quote from Jerry Jones. The Cowboys are a
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: soap opera, three hundred and sixty five days a year.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: And he said, when it gets slow, I stir it up.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Quote continues, and so it's wonderful, Jones said, to have
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the great athletes, have the great players. But there's something
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: more there. There's sizzle, there's emotion, and if you will,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: there's controversy. That controversy is good stuff in terms of
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: keeping and having people's attention. All right, so let us
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: discuss the question, how did Jerry Jones comm and I
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: just gave you the comment. How did Jerry Jones commentary
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: here about the Cowboys being a soap opera three hundred
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: and sixty five days a year sound to you. So
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I've got triple Baconator, the Wolf of Wall Street, and
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Secret Handshake, and we will combine all of these things together,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: put them. We get boom, just like boom, just like that,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens. So a The first thought
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I had was self absorbed, which is rather obvious. You
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: don't need me to tell you that Jerry has made
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: himself the story. Say what you want. However, Jerry Jones
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: is a maestro of business. He's also transparent on this one.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be great if more of our politicians were
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: transparent like the Cowboys are a soap op Of course
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: there I talk about it more than anybody. They suck
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys three hundred and sixty five days a year.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: And as he said, when it gets slow, he stirs
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: it up. He said that before. This is not new,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: and you know again it's not me paraphrasing. That was
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the quote. When he gets slow, I stir it up,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: and three hundred sixty five days a year. He just
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: flat out admits it, like if you don't like it,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: you can't handle the truth. That famous line from Jack Nichols,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: you can't handle the truth. Few good men. So Jerry
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: is proud of turning his team into the young and
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: the restless. And it's all by design, you know. Jerry
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Jones cracked the code. He got the It's like figuring
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: out DNA. He figured out the code. And he slow
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: walks contract extensions. Whether it was DAK and Ceedee Lamb
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: in years past, what's going on right now, it doesn't matter.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: He drags him out. A bunch of media dopes complain, Oh,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Jerry's costing the Cowboys millions of dollars. What's he doing? Well?
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Why do they do it? Because it creates tension. What
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: does tension lead to? It leads to engagement, It creates
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: talking points. It's a self fulfilling prophecies. The vortex, the
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Cowboys vortex. It creates content. Content is what it's all about.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Content is king. The Cowboys are never quiet. It's like
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: if Vince McMahon owned an NFL team back in his
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: heyday and professional wrestling visically Man of the NFL only
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Jerry does not have the muscles and he doesn't take
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: chairs to the head and there's no die there. Jerry's
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: had some work done, but that's fine. And a little
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Pt Barnum in there too, you know. Step right up,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Step bride up, Come one and all fun for all ages.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: The amazing Cowboys under the Big Top. You can watch
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: them collapse in the playoffs if we make it. Tickets
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: on sale now. Every every news conference with Jerry Jones
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: reminds me of being a kid watching the Macho Man
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Randy Savage and Hal Cogan and I'm waiting for me
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: and gene Oakerland to pop in there. It's like a
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: wrestling promo. Come see the Dallas Cowboys appearing at your
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: local arena on this Saturday morning. Every delay on a
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: contract is a storyline, it is. And when there's no story,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Jerry just make one up. It's make it up. I
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: don't figure it out. And you know what, it's free marketing.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: It is whatever costs. Right. There's actual money because they
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: don't sign the players right away. You save money if
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: you send them right. But he figures, listen, I'm gonna
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: make that back on media coverage and spoiler alert he
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: is franchise value. Cowboys are number one. They're right, Yeah,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: you know how many NFL teams get wall the wall
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: television and radio coverage year round? One A one team.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: That's the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles won the Super Bowl,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: and is anyone yapping about the Eagles? They get mentioned
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: now and again. They won, They had the winning recipe.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys have the formula to get attention. Jerry has
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: basically turned the NFL's most valuable franchise into his own
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: reality show. It's very primal. The other thing I've noticed
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: about this, talking about it three or four times a week,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: is how primal it is. The cowboy fan, the cowboy
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: fan hardwired to eat this up right, they are. It's
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: like fast food for the brain. It's like going to
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Windy's and you get that triple bacon eater back in
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: the day and the frosty and high drama. In this case,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of salt. It's actually terrible for you
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: in the long run, but you keep going back for more.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Now unpopular opinion. Other teams should be copying with the
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: cow doing and Jerry's getting up there. He's not gonna
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: be around that much longer. And if you want to
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: be relevant, and you want to increase value and all
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: that you want attention, you can copy the Ravens or
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Ravens have good teams every year. The Bills have been
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: really good for the last six seven years or so.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Maybe more like the Cowboys. Though, you create the drama,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: you stir the pot. It's a little messy, it's a
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: little sticky, little human. In Jerry's world, the ratings and
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: the franchise value that is much more important than the
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl trophy. It just is now page two. Staying
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: with this theme, if you will, staying with this theme.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: So Michael Parsons was spotted this week watching Cowboy practice,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: not taking part watching, and he was only a couple
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: of feet away from Jerry Jones, the afore mentioned Jerry
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Jones who liked the Cowboys so much he bought the
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: team and then became the GM, and he's been the
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: gym longest tenure GM in the NFL. So Jerry Jones
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: and Michael Parsons are standing just feet away from each
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: other on the sidelines, but nothing has changed regarding the
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: long contract negotiation between the two sides. So Jerry Jones
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: was asked what is preventing the sides from talking? And
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones said really. He then paused and said nothing.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Nothing again he said nothing would be that, Jones said,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: and we might or we might not talk, and the
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: rest of that gets into what we do every day.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, confusing there, but close quote Parsons declining
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: to comment as he sashaded his way off the practice field.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: There for the cowboys. So let's do a fill in
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the blank question. Fill in the blank. I'm gonna go first.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Then you can go if you want and call in
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: and send a message in cowboys hitting the pause button,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: hitting the pause button on the remote controls like that
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: hitting the pause button in Micah Parson's negotiation is blank.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Fill in the blank. So my word on this is premeditated.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: That is my word premeditated. Again. My position is that
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is going to take this to the buzzer,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: right to the buzzer, like every good Bond movie where
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: there's the diet sticks of dynamite wrapped in tape, there's
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: there's weird wires, and you gotta figure out how you
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: cut the blue wire the red wire, and you got
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: to do it right before the clock strikes, you know,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: zero zero and all that stuff. And so that's what's
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: gonna happen here. Choreograph choreographed chaos. As I learned from
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the Wolf of Wall Street, it's all for Gayzy or
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: for Gazi. Uh you know, for Gayzy is though. Uh
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: it's fake, that's what it is. So it's all it's
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: that's what it is, all right. Now, last word, we
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: move from Jerry's world and we go to the land
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: of the insert Petsburg Steelers. That is where, of all people,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison. Yes, that Niko. Yes, that's
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: the same guy, Nico Harrison. So the Mavericky of Nico
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Harrison was spotted meeting at Steeler training camp with Aaron Rodgers,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: among others. Now, how do I know this? How am
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I aware of this? Because the picture that they took
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: sitting at a table has gone viral And maybe you
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: saw it, maybe you heard about it. Maybe you didn't
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: hear about it, Maybe you didn't see it.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: That's your your life. But I saw it, and if
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I hadn't seen it, I had people sending to me,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: did you see this? Ah my god, you gotta talk
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: about this Oh my god. Okay, I don't know that
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: I have to talk about this, but I am talking
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: about it. I am talking about So I did a
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: little investigating and it's like, well, how does Nico Harrison
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: end up at a table with Aaron Rodgers. It seems
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: very bizarre to me. So it turns out that one
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: of the good friends of Nico Harrison, one of the
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: good friends of Nico Harrison, is Steeler's coach, My Tomlin.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Their besties their besties. That's an odd tearing, isn't it? Like?
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: How did they become buddies? That seems odd. There must
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: be some story there. I don't know what the story
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: is anyway. So Tomlin and Nico Harrison are buddies, and
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: apparently Nico Harrison was at training camp the last couple
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: of years. Of course, nobody knew who he was. Nobody
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: cared about Nico Harrison. Now, of course that story has
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: changed dramatically. So question on this one, question on this one.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Why why do you think the picture of Nico Harrison
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers created such a visceral reaction? So I'll
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: give my psychobabble and then you can chime in and
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: just my reaction seeing the photo of the Mavericks GM
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: and then the NFL's resident evangelist of the Ayahuasca, Aaron Rodgers,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: it felt like you were ease dropping in on something
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: that you weren't supposed to see. It looked like there
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: was some kind of secret handshake that was going on.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: You know, they were like shaking hands, like a couple
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: of Bond villains. To use the bond reference there, a
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: couple of Bond villains. It was a snapshot so surreal
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: that you were like, whoa, I mean, what's going on?
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, there they were. Harrison the man who traded
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Luka Doncik, not really a trade. He just gave Luka
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Doncik to the Lakers for a bag of Orville Reddenbacker popcorn,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: a stale bag of Orville Reddenbacker popcorn. And I think
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: he got invited to like a Laker chat, like an
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: online chat, not in person online. And then you've got
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers best he's with Joe Rogan, right, the quarterback
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: treats every conversation like he's doing a Ted talk about
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: quantum consciousness and all that stuff. And together side by
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: side at a table with others, with others at Steelers
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: training camp, looking like they were plotting some kind of
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: cross sport coup a coup d'eta. And you had Harrison
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: there was he trying to recruit Rogers. Hey, Aaron, how
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: would you like to be the offensive coordinator of the Mavericks. Well, Nico,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: whether you guys don't have an offensive corner, I don't care,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: We'll make you one. And as Rogers probably I'm imagining.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: He's like, Oh, listen, Nico, I know there's there's a
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: way now you can break down teams based on the
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: holistic abilities. Forget analytics, go with holistic analytics, which is
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: a different thing. And it's it's we'll bring in Andrea
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: from Berkeley. We'll bring Andrew in, the astrology insider, and
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: she'll base what moves we make on the cycle of
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: the moon. You know, is it is it going to
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: be a wolf moon? What is it going to be? Uh?
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: You know, we'll look at the Farmers Almanac, we'll figure
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: it out and we'll just do things on gut feelings
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: and uh. And then Nico's like, well, I don't know
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: if we should do that. I don't I don't know
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: about that. Or maybe they were just bonding Rogers and
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Nico over the shared love they have for alienating sports
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: fans and redefining dysfunction dysfunction. But listen, whatever it is
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: that the photo, it was like this rogue asteroid seeing
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: these two figures that you know, again, I don't know
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: about you, but for me, I'm a little too into
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: the weeds here in this job. And I've talked a
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: lot about Nico Harrison over the last year, and I've
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: talked for years about Aaron Rodgers. I mean, we I
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: go so far back that here at Fox Sports Radio,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I did a show with this guy named Chris Landry
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: on the weekends in the early days of Fox Sports Radio,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: and we used to have Aaron Rodgers on after games
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: he played at Cal. And I always thought, well, he
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: must not that be be that good because he's coming
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: on our show. And then, you know, if he's a
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: big star, he's not going to come on a radio
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: show half an hour after Cal played Arizona State or
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: whatever back in the day. But he did. He came on,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: He's fine, he was nice, and that was it. And
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: then he's gone on and this this amazing polarizing run
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: in the NFL with all these different teams. But if
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Nico Harrison and Airon Rogers are the architects of chaos,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I then that means that you and I those of
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: us that either know about the photo if you're blind,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: or saw the photo if you're not blind, we are
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: all just spectators. And this is like the demolition Derby.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: That's what it is.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Here we go, it's Mallard. How about here we go
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: a third degree? This is one big Ben gets grilled
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: poler all Right.
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: The Atlanta Falcons have the second longest playoff drought in
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: the NFL, and they are actually a popular bet to
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: end that drought this season. Ben, how do you feel
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: about that?
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not on board. Raheem Morris a good coordinator.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I know he's a very good coach. And I'm not
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: completely sold on Michael Pennix junior. And you gotta have
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. I'm not you know, he can prove me
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: wrong here. I'm not buying it. The reason people were
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: picking the Falcons, it's a wide open division, right, Carolina sucks.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: The Saints are gonna be the worst team in the NFL,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: so it's really between Atlanta and Tampa Bay. Next.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: Jose Ramirez and the Cleveland Guardians are heating up at
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: the right time last night. Notwithstanding, they have gone twenty
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: two to nine over the last thirty one games, put
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: themselves into position for a wild card spot. Ben, do
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: you think they could ride this way two a division title?
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Well? Whould they? Yes? I mean, listen, the Tigers are
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: a better team. The problem with the team, like the Guardians,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: is they just don't hold up in a playoff environment.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: They don't give you nightmares, they don't give you a
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: sleep panic. There's no boogeyman there. It's just like a
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: regular season team. The playoffs are going to be a
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: debacle next.
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: When the cruiz Beck family sold the Celtics in March,
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: it was reported that wit grus Beck would stay on
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: as the Celtics CEO and governor through the twenty seven
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: twenty eighth season. Now that's no longer the case, and
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: new owner of Bill Chisham will take over once the
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: sales final. Same thing happened to Mark Cuban when he
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: stole the MAVs. You think Genie Buss could be pushed
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: out early as well.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so the gross back thing because he didn't own
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: fifteen percent. He can't be the you know, the person
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: at the table. But yeah, Genie Bush, this should be out.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: How do we go? Ass?
• 35:15

  Speaker 1: in the air, and for the reading of the questions,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I go to Justin Cooper.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: All right, Ben, We're gonna start with one from Ryan here.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Hi.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Ryan.
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: He wants to know for everyone, could any of you
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: finish the nine to nine to nine challenge? It is
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: apparently nine dogs, nine beers, nine innings.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so the hot dog thing I don't believe would
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: be a problem now. It might be, but back in
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: the day. Yeah, I yah, it's harder now. I think
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: that's harder now because baseball games are quicker. Back in
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: the old back in the old days, Red Sox game
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: be five hours, Dodger game will be four hours. Now,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: you've got about two and a half hours. So could
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: you eat nine hot dogs and drink nine beers into Yeah,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: it's close. I think I could do it, Lorena.
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, I could. I eat so much food it's ridiculous.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: That is true. And you don't get any weight, which
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: really annoys me.
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: What about you, Kooperloo, there's a zero chance the rain
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: I could.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Do that, and she'd take one bite of every hot right.
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: Exactly what counts. I would not be able to do it.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: I could do the nine dogs, but nine yours I
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: would not be able to.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Nine years and two and a half hours, you'd be
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: laying on the ground. What's me? You know what?
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: Lee?
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Lee calls that a Tuesday.
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: I guess, I guess this one's just for Lorena. It
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: is from a GABS and they say, why did Loraina
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: join a sports show if she doesn't know anything about sports?
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: Why not a music radio station?
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: Well, it's funny they hire board ops wherever because technically
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: they don't all talk on the air.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: But I do.
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: I like sports. I'm getting better, but I do prefer
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: music radium to be honest.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, body blow, body blow body celebrities. But you know what,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: I think athletes are celebrities.
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: I'm finding a nice niche between celebrities and sports with
• 37:47
  Speaker 7: their dating. So it's it's kind of a nice little window.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: And yes, LORAINI just to now she's not happy? All right,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: what's next? Where are we at here? What I said,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: that's what it sounded like to me. I don't know.
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: Alf the alien opineer. This one is just for you, Ben,
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: He says, do you know what LARP is?
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Larp?
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's an achrona.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: No, what is it like? Uh?

• 38:12
  Speaker 5: live action role play. Oh like people battle.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, like godsplay or like yeah, like they like.
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: They pretend that they're like Civil war.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, you know. I was actually at Gettysburg.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: I visited the Gettysburg site and they had it was
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: pretty cool and there were some people doing that.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think the one he's referring to is
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: more as like the nerdy kind where you pretend you're
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: like you're a wizard or a Star Wars guy. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: but no that's not. But they're all live action role
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: play anyway, all right.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: But whatever gets you through the day. If you want
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: to dress like a furry, it just don't bother me,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: do you think?
• 38:50
